Pointers and References

Pointers and references are fundamental concepts in C++ that allow indirect access to variables. A pointer stores the memory address of another variable, enabling dynamic memory management and manipulation. A reference, on the other hand, acts as an alias for an existing variable, providing a direct way to access and modify its value. Understanding the difference between pointers and references, including constant pointers and pointers to constants, is crucial for writing efficient and safe C++ code.
